Co-Living: How to Create a Conscious Community w/ Sam Kern
Co-living is something I've wanted to experiment with, ever since I first heard the term. The idea of bringing together a group of people to live, work, and co-create under one shared roof sounded like a dream.
When I connected with today's guest, Sam Kern, just a few weeks ago it felt like my dreams had literally come true. From quarantine to living in community, my life changed overnight.
Today, Sam and I dive into why we're both so passionate about the concept of "conscious co-living," how we prepared as a group to create the experience, why we chose Baja, Mexico, and some of the amazing (and also scary) things that have happened since we arrived 9 days ago.
Some of the questions we answer in today's chat:
- How does co-living differ from having roommates?
- How do you find people to co-live with?
- What challenges does it present?
- What cool events have been created?
- How do you manage 8 people living under one roof?
This unique episode was recorded live from our balcony in Baja, and it's definitely one for the books. Enjoy!
